Short exercises integrate easily into lesson plans, giving instructors flexibility in planning. Most exercises are divided into two or more parts, and some major topics are covered over several exercises. While many are designed to stand alone, several exercises may build upon the previous, creating a cohesive learning experience for students. Quick Response (QR) codes give students easy access to Lab Manual Internet content wherever they can use a smartphone, tablet, or other mobile device.
By scanning the QR codes, they can view online materials needed to complete Internet-based problems in the manual, including color maps and photographs, satellite video loops, and Google Earth ™ footage. All QR code media content is also available in MasteringGeography, along with the KMZ files for Google Earth exercises. And English units combine to give students an accurate idea of how specific areas of study are measured. Either type of units may be used to complete many of the exercises, but weather and climate exercises emphasize S.I. Units, while geomorphology and topographic map interpretation exercises focus on English units.
Stereograms included in exercises feature matching topographic maps. For students who don’t have access to lens stereoscopes, it is still possible to complete the exercise problems. All stereogram- and topographic map-based problem sets also include latitude and longitude coordinates of key features, accessible through Google Earth or the National Map. A Math Skills Practice Worksheet helps students practice the math and charting skills they’ll need to complete exercises throughout the Lab Manual. Found in the Appendix, this worksheet provides hints to practice problems that can hone students’ skills in preparation for graded assignments. An answer key, available separately, presents a sample course syllabus for instructors, with suggestions for supplementing Lab Manual exercises.
Also included are answers for each exercise in the manual. Please contact your local Pearson representative to receive a copy of the answer key.

A new exercise on Geographic Information Systems and Remote Sensing (Exercise 8) replaces the last edition’s GIS exercise. It has been written by Ryan Jensen of Brigham Young University, a recognized GIS expert.
Sixteen new pages of color maps and images are included in the back of the Lab Manual, making a total of 32 pages of color maps and graphics. In previous editions of the Lab Manual, many of these new color maps appeared in black-and-white.
Many of the exercises underwent major revisions or expansions, including Weather Variability and Climate Change (Exercise 24), Biomes and Ecological Land Units (Exercise 26), Aerial Photographs and Stereograms (Exercise 32), and Mass Wasting (Exercise 38). The art has been improved and updated throughout the Lab Manual, including additional diagrams from the 12th edition of McKnight’s Physical Geography: A Landscape Appreciation. The order of exercises has been rearranged slightly. At the suggestions of instructors, the exercises introducing contour line and topographic map skills now appear in the middle of the Lab Manual, just before the exercises on geomorphology that require these skills. Additional online resources are easily accessible via QR codes and the MasteringGeography website. These include color maps, photographs, satellite images, and Google Earth ™ footage.

About the Author(s) Darrel Hess began teaching geography at City College of San Francisco in 1990 and served as chair of the Earth Sciences Department from 1995 to 2009. After earning his bachelor’s degree in geography at the University of California, Berkeley, in 1978, he served for two years as a teacher in the Peace Corps on Jeju Island, Korea.
Upon returning to the United States, he worked as a writer, photographer, and audio visual producer. His association with Tom McKnight began as a graduate student at UCLA, where he served as one of Tom’s teaching assistants. Their professional collaboration developed after Darrel graduated from UCLA with a master’s degree in geography in 1990. He first wrote the Study Guide that accompanied the fourth edition of Physical Geography: A Landscape Appreciation, and then the Laboratory Manual that accompanied the fifth edition.
Darrel continues to author the Laboratory Manual, along with the California Edition of this book, now in its fourth incarnation. In 1999 Tom asked Darrel to join him as coauthor of the textbook. Darrel was the 2014 recipient of the American Association of Geographers (AAG) Gilbert Grosvenor Geographic Education Honors.
As did Tom, Darrel greatly enjoys the outdoor world. Darrel and his wife, Nora, are avid hikers, campers, and scuba divers.
